PROTESTS IN TURKEY MAY MOVE TO AZERBAIJAN - RUSSIAN ANALYST
June 07, 2013 | 00:52
The wave of anti-government protests in Turkey quite logically may
move to Azerbaijan, Russian political scientist Mikhail Aleksandrov
told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In his conviction, the situation in Azerbaijan is worse than in it
is Turkey.
"There is something like a democracy in Turkey, [and] fairly
competitive elections are conducted. In Azerbaijan, however, there
is [Azerbaijani president Ilham] Aliyev's authoritarian regime,
which is worse than [former President Hosni] Mubarak's regime was
in Egypt. The Aliyev regime has no support from anywhere because it
managed to spoil relations with all," Aleksandrov recorded.
In his words, Aliyev spoiled relations with Russia, too.
"That is why Russia will not support the Aliyev regime, the
Americans will rather remain neutral, and Iran may even assist the
anti-government protests. So, [the Aliyev regime] cannot pin hopes
on anyone but Israel," the political analyst concluded.
